Is there a mean to pass Pinny Pointer to native code?

[nabil035]

As the title of the question show I want to pass a pinny pointer (C++/CLI) pointer to a native function

When Compiling there's no error

but the pointer do not contain any value

I explain more the problem:

typedef value struct //defined in managed code
{

}Type_Name;

The same Type is defined in a native DLL but without the keyword value
typedef struc {.........} Type_Name;
In the native dll there's a function func1(Type_Name* tn);
Now from the managed code I call the native function from the DLL (using dllimport) but I pass a pinny pointer as a parameter: func1(Type_Name^ tn)

The compilation succeeds but the pointer is not initialized.

Is there any way to do this, cuz I want that my managed code use these new pinny pointer.

Please help, or give me any idea.

well I have a good idea but I don't think is the best:


//in managed code

func1(Type^ tn);

but in the dllimport I put this function

extern void func1(cli::interiorptr<Type> tn);

this code works but I want a best solution, so please help
